Yes, my mom told me how I was in my highchair and started reading the back of the newspaper that my dad was reading. My parents frantically started putting labels on items all over the house: sofa, door, table, etc. but I could already read all those words...instead I asked, "What is lingerie? (of course mispronounced!)
Then, when I was in 1st grade the school wanted to have me skip a grade but my parents wouldn't let them. They thought I would end up being "a follower" if I were younger than my classmates. Just like JJ'sMom, I was a typical "good girl" who never showed signs of boredom, frustration, or any misbehavior. My son, however, has made up for all of that...
